Scared Alligator

One day, Gramma sent her grandson Peter down to the water hole to get some  water for cooking dinner.  As he was dipping the bucket in, he saw two big  eyes looking back at him.  He dropped the bucket and hightailed it for  Gramma's kitchen. "Now, where's my bucket and my water?"  Gramma asked him."I  can't get any water from that water hole, Gramma"  criedPeter.  "There's a  BIG  ol' alligator down there!"Now don't you mind that ol' alligator, Peter.  He's been there for a few years now, and he's never hurt no one. Why, he's  probably as scared of you as you are of him!""Well, Gramma,"  replied Peter,  "If he's as scared of me as I am of him, then that water ain't fit to drink!"
